Frankly, our players just don’t get it.”Brennan said Carrington also took issue with reporters, including herself, the next day, claiming they were “talking s—” about NaLyssa Smith, her partner who just so happened to be on the Fever. Brennan claimed the two other reporters were simply discussing “a bit of a Fever strategy that had just noticed on the court.”Smith confronted Brennan, who told Smith she didn’t say anything negative, but Smith said she was “lying,” Brennan wrote in the book.Bonner signed a one-year deal with the Fever during the offseason, but was waived after it was reported she had “no interest” in playing for them anymore.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPCarrington and Smith appeared to joke about the eye-poking incident during an Instagram Live video in October.Fox News’ Paulina Dedaj contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter. in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
